Found this last week actually but since itās Veteranās Day, thought it was appropriate:
Found this on a c. 1870 permission Iāve been detecting for a year. I believe it is a Swedish/Belgian kroner from the 1930ās. (Havenāt been able to make out exact date.) Interestingly, as you may have seen on another post I just wrote on WHAT IS IT, Iāve found a button from a merchant marine uniform on this property. Through research, I leaned that a young man who lived here served in the merchant marines in WWIIālike my own grandfather did. Unfortunately, though, this soldier did not return home; his ship was torpedoed in the Pacific in 1945. šŖ Of course I donāt know for absolute sure if he was the one who dropped this coin on the front lawn of a farmhouse in northern NJ, but it seems a reasonable explanation, as it seems he was at one point stationed in Europe. Maybe he was home on leave?
As an aside, this same house years earlier was the home of 2 young men who served in WWI. As far as I can determine, both of them survived.
